RAILWAY TRUCKS
Construction Ceases Till After The War (P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH. June 24. Because of the war no more railway trucks will be built in New Zealand, and those now on hand will have to last for the duration, said the actingDistrict Traffic Manager. Mr R. Gallagher, speaking at a conference held here to-day to consider the demand on trucks for the cartage of the grain harvest.
“No more trucks will be built here.” Mr Gallagher said. “Work on them has been suspended and there will be no additional trucks available till after the war. Material for them is not available, and the workshops are engaged on other important tasks. It caii be taken for granted that no more trucks Will be available for some considerable time."
